.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
fbdump [\fI\-fb <device>\fP] [\fI\-vt <terminal>\fP] [\fI\-delay <sec>\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
fbdump is a simple tool that captures the contents of the visible portion
of the Linux framebuffer device and writes it to the standard output as
a PPM file. In other words, it takes a screenshot of anything running on
the framebuffer. It currently has fairly complete support for packed\-pixel
framebuffer types and also works with the VGA16 framebuffer driver.
